Hey guys! Thanks for being so awesome and supportive the last chapter. I know this one is a bit longer and more serious than the others, but I tried to add some humour here and there. Hope you;ll like it!
Chapter 7
It was just another boring day. People were strolling up and down the alleys and through the park, kids were playing football in a school yard near by and birds were singing louder than ever. Or so I presumed, given that my headphones blocked out 90% of whatever I were supposed to hear. I was walking down the street, looking for a boring store SHE told me about. Yeah, her. I had never been seen as a "ladies' man" or considered myself "attractive". Appearence didn't matter to me, really, but my look always seemed to attract fangirls wherever I went . "Dull creatures those girls" I usually told myself...but that girl, she was different I guess. I mean ,yeah, her blood was so pure and sweet it made even me chase after it, but besides that there was so much more. Her eyes, her smile, her constant attempts to run away or get along with us, her strong heart and pure soul. That was Yui for me, even though I didn't really admit it. I couldn't, right? I was already a dissapointment, being almost 20 and not yet engaged to another potentially rich vampire. Marriage wasn't for me, at least not yet. I never achieved my dreams, mostly because of my way of being, so marriage would only bring dismay for the "other". Beside violin, there was never much to say about me. Until 2 weeks ago only my sweet chord sounds could make me enjoy life. Then... She appeared, making me smile or even laugh, on the inside of course. Damn, this whole "period thing" sure had been a lot of fun, kind of refreshing-
I tried to clear my mind of those thoughts and look for the shop. Focus had always been my enemy, as my mind always wandered away from reality. I went past some coffee shops, a boutique and even some bookstores, but the shop was no where to be seen.
"Nope, not this one"
"Mnope"
"No"
"How many restaurants do people need anyway...?"
As I approached the center, I spotted the most beautiful creature I had seen that day: long legs, light curves and perfect arms. I blushed watching her and made eye contact. She was way out of my league, given that I didn't really have a league. I clenched my fist and decided to approach her, not looking directly. I touched her curves and sowly let myself into her arms. I think it took me some time to get comfortable with the rough material, but such a perfect bench was hard to find those days. I napped a bit and watched the people passing by.
("Focus"
"Look at that armchair... so comfy..."
"Focus"
"ZZZ"
"Focus!"
"Short skirt"
"Focus"
"Serious boobage at left"
"FOCUS MAN")
That was what was trully happening in my head, as always. It was really hard to focus on such boring tasks.
I think it took me an hour to break up with the bench, but took her address in case I wanted to see her again in the future. I continued my crusade through the bussy city, finally approaching the center. Heaven knows how many precious steps I wasted that day, but my goal was standing right in front of me, glowing just like in soujo anime. I entered through the wooden door, making some bells above ring.
That was the moment I met my doom. It took a spilt of a second for 3 ladies to appear, surrounding me.
"Welcome to "Her secret girly shop"!" they all said at unison.
They all seemed to be in their late thirties or twenties and looked rather tired. They looked "old" and aven a bit scary, with those fake smiles.
"What can we help you with ?
Shoping for your girlfriend?
Do you have one?
You don't seem the tipe of guy without one!
You better make her happy and propose as soon as possible!
I wish I was married...
You are such a cutie" the 3 of them said, making me feel really uncomfortable.
"I'm just searching for some umm... "tampons". Do you have them ?"
They all made weird faces, looked at each other and started to laugh.
"Oh sweetie we surely do, but you'll need some extra time to choose !"
"Wha-" I tried to ask.
"Here, follow me" one of them told me, pushing my back.
I think it took forever to go right to the opposite part of the room, passsing by teddy bears, pottery and even underwear. "Is this heaven for girls or what?" I asked myself, wondering why girls needed so many things in their lifes. When we finally arrived at te stand, I remained petrified. I wouldn't exagerate by saying there were hundreds of types of tampons and pads laying on the shelves in front of my eyes.
The lady giggled and returned to her usual place in the store, wishing me good luck. I really needed it, that was for sure.
"Well Shu, you couldn't just miss the center, could you?" I asked myself. I didn't know where to start from, but something was cear for me: I had to avoid the ones that would take her purity away. "That could only be taken away by me, of course" I laughed to myself. I decided to look over the ones with the most attractive exteriors. I grabbed a package on the end of the shef, which was an agressive shade of pink and had hearts drawn all over.
"Seriously? They put hearts on those? It's not like they would help Yui more if they looked as if a unicorn trew up on them... Such a pain.
I looked on the package and remained still as I red all the specifications on it: extra absorbant, medium lenght, 3 points at softness and efficiency. "What the..? There are even more types of pads?"
I suddenly grabbed more, reading the packages like a maniac. Which one was "the one"? Soft or efficient? Long or discrette? Damn, I had never expected that. I could't have imagined girls were so diverse even in this category.
"Ok Shu, calm down... you can do this.." I wispered to myself. "Maybe I should associate "the one" with Yui's way of being: small, fragile, but strong and hard-working. Hmm..." I grabbed some more and red, hoping to find the perfect package, when..
"Et Voila!" I shouted, making one of the ladies from before giggle.
I took the blue package from the top shelf and red the specifications again just in case. Yeah, they were smal ,but efficient and cute looking, I guess... They had flowers drawn on the pads.
I approached the cashier with my precious object in my hands. "I did it" I mentally told myself. "Finally something done righ-"
"5 dollars please"
"Fuck...Almost right I guess. I should've taken more than 2 dollars with me. Now what?" I asked myself.
I sighed, knowing what had to be done. The process was a really hard one. But first, analizing the opponent was a crucial step. The cashier looked rather young, 25 at most, so it was even easyer.
Enter Shu's mind
"Let'see... 1,67 meters high, aproximatively 57 kilograms, a bit curvy but not exagerated, wearing a tight top and has a black collar around her slim neck. She's wearing tight and short clothes, must be easy to charm, but how?"
This was the hard part. I knew my brothers very well, all their little acts and gestures. In situatins like this I couldn't do anything, but... at least one of them could.
" So, wich of my brother's way of flirting would be the best? Of course Kanato, Reiji and also Subaru are way out of her league. That means I have to choose between Ayato and Laito. Hmm... Ayato's more into shy and fragile girls when molestin- umm..flirting, so I guess Laito's style is more suited for her. "
Exit Shu's mind ( remember ,this process lasted for maximum 1 second. You must be rather impressed by now)
I cleared my throat to make my voice more seductive, bowed towards her and wispered into her year something Laito would say to a girl if he wanted to get laid, making her shiver and blush really hard.
"So what do you think, Little lamb? Is it ok if I pay next time. " I asked, putting on one of Laito's gorgeous smiles on my face.
"Umm yeah sure!" she responded while trying not to look like an idiot.
"*giggle*Don't forget ...I'll let you choose the payment. Any part of me is yours~" I said, blowng a kiss towards her while exiting the shop and with the ringing of the bells, I was already long gone.
"Damn, that always works... sly Laito...but I do have to admit he's really good at..well..this kind of stuff." I told myself.
"Now, which way should I g-. Wait, what th f-?" I asked, spotting a really similar figure entering the shop I exited just a while ago. "Could that be..."
I retunred to the shop, but didn't have the guts to enter it again, so I looked through the window. It was really hard to make out the figure, but after examining it closely I was sure it was Subaru's. But he wasn't alone, as 2 more appeared. The red hair and fedora convinced me Subaru was with Ayto and Laito.
"Those bastards." I said, starting to walk down the street." I have to hurr- zzz" I fell to the ground, exhausted. "Damn you lack of energy! You couldn't run out at home could you?" I thought, starting to fall asleep. The last thing I remembered was a lady screaming and someone taking my pulse.
"Damn Laito and his giggles and bright smiles! They took all my remained energy!"
"Hmm... guess I do have to rest a bit.
But only a bit"
ZZZ
